Beautiful layout!

The course has a beautiful layout. Great design. The greens were in less than ideal shape. They must have had some tough winter kill. Overall it was still a lot of fun to play!

Ok, but better courses at that price.

Course was in rough shape, worst I’ve seen it in the 3 times I’ve played there. Greens were a disaster. Not enough range spots to warm up, all were being used and a waiting line. Staff was fantastic, which is a big deal around Denver because most are not. Layout is what you’d expect. Restaurant/bar was closed with no prior notice - not a big deal but that’s why low amenities rating. Bear Dance is the same price and a much nicer course if you can make the extra 20 minute drive.

Horrible Shape

I've played the course many times over the past 20 years and it is by far the worse shape ever. The greens are almost unputtable. The fairways have many dead patches. Stay away.

Burned to a crisp.

Great staff, super friendly. That's as good as it gets. Half of each fairway & half of each green is packed dirt. This course is not taken care. It looks like the superintendent doesn't care about what happens to this property. Red Hawk is in better condition, Bear Dance is in better condition, Plum Creek is in better condition & all for less money. This used to be a great course I'd play 2 or 3 times a year. Never again. $80+ awful grass everywhere AND cart path only.

Greens are terrible

Its a nice course with a great layout, but the greens are awful because of winter kill. Hopefully they get that sorted soon...i would call the course unplayable until the greens are fixed.

Burned to a crisp.

There are other courses in this area that are a better bargain & in better shape. Huge spots in fairways & greens are packed dirt & sand. Why am I penalized for hitting FIR & GIR in regulation? Half of many fairways are dried out & unplayable. If you're in this area go play Red Hawk Ridge, Bear Dance, or Plum Creek instead, better conditions & less money. EXTEREMLY DISAPPOINTING.

Atrocious conditions

I’ve been wanting to play this course for years. It’s an absolutely beautiful layout but it was in the worst shape of any course I’ve ever played. It was like it hadn’t been maintained for the past year. 16/18 greens were absolutely trashed, like putting on a sand trap with divots. The fairways and tee boxes were even worse than the green. It was honestly just sad to see such a beautiful course in such bad shape. I inquired after and was told the green keeper quit last year and they never hired a new one. Hoping someone will save this beautiful course.

Great course, a bit beat up by winter/weather

This is always a course I look forward to playing. Today was no different. The staff was very friendly. The check-in was seamless. The course was cart path only, due to rain, I think. Some didn't see that despite it being on the door and at the check-in desk. That made for a bit of pressure, even on those of our group in carts. I chose to walk, since usually I can keep pace with cart path only folks. The course seemed a bit off the usual excellent conditions with the greens apparently suffering from ice, some linear aeration lines?, and unusual bunker conditions. Still, it was a fun round. Drinks on the patio allowed for watching the weather roll in, cool. I look forward to coming back when the course is in its usual glory.

Poor conditions

Was excited to play this course but for the price of $115 I expected it to be in a lot better condition.

So to say the least I was very disappointed

Horrible Course Conditions

Today was my first time playing this course sadly I was unimpressed to say the least. The course was in horrible condition. Lots of dead spots on the greens and fairway. Paying 115$ for the round I expected pristine conditions.

Fungus?

Great layout, issues with the following; lack of practice balls, fairway only and a dry course, what was denied as fungus in the fairways (which may explain cartpath only), scalped greens on occasion (must be a new guy mowing).

Would definately play again but would want honest opinion of condition first.

Worse shape ever!!

The Ridge is in the worst shape ever!! They are charging way too much for the conditions of the course!!! . For the price they are charging the fairways and greens should be in much better shape there are dead spots everywhere I’m ashamed and appalled that the greens keeper hasn’t been fired yet! I do not recommend playing this course until July

What Happened to the Ridge

Wow-

We have always loved and enjoyed playing the Ridge. The big problem is the price, which is usually in the $130 range. We were pleased to get a $91 prepaid price and off we went.

The layout is wonderful, but this golf course needs a lot of help. Brown spots all over, and lots of missing grass on greens. This was not a problem on just a few holes either.

We love the track, but for the price paid (yes, even $91) we expect way more. Extremely disappointed in the conditions here, pretty hard to putt over sand.

We were told this is "normal winter kill" but our group plays all over the Front Range and this is pretty far from anything we have seen including our local muni.

We hope they get it together soon, but we will not be returning at any price until the conditions approve.
